A110 Whitelaw calls it "Job's Choice." NOTE: there's a lot of speculation on this tract. (Whitelaw 1110.)
Gleaned:
1664 Patented to Lawerence Robinson 500 acres. 1oo acres of this being "Hills Choice," a peninsula between Young's Creek and France Creek. Today it is called 'Job's Choice,' [Island.] Same year reissued for 800 acres.
1666 reissued for 1,200 acres by Lawerence Robinson.
1668 Robinson sold 1,000 acres, including Hill's Choice [Job's Island] to George Trewett.
George Trewett wrote his will on 10 July 1670. It was proved on 16 October 1670 (Nottingham 4.).
An abstract of his will reads: "To son Henry land at Onancock. To son James 200 acres at Muddy Creek and 50 acres of marsh. To son George land adjoining my son James and 50 acres of Marsh. To son John land at Muddy Creek and 50 acres of marsh. to son Job 100 acres called Peninsula or Hills Choyce. 50 acres adjoining my son John and 100 acres of Marsh. to children Jane, Dorathy, James, Susanna, John, Elizabeth and Job Trewett household goods &c. to reamin in control of my sons Henry and George, they to give each of my said children their equal portion as they com to age of 18. To my servant Robert Spencer. Sons Henry and George Extrs."
NOTE: He left to his son Job 100 acres called "Peninsula" or "Hill's Choice," hence the name "Jobs Island."
Whitelaw does not trace this tract any further than 1707 except for that of 7 William Young [Procession number] (Whitelaw 1112-1113.)
1692 Job Trewett of Maryland sold the Island as 250 acres to William Jarman and three years later he and his wife Dorothy resold to Richard Grinnall, John Hickman and William Hickman.
1707 Job Trewett of Somerset County MD sold half of his land to Thomas Riley and the other half to Thomas Tounsin [Townsend.]
Whitelaw's Note: None of Job's land seemed important enough to trace
further.
